Jungle Fires was born in the wrong hemisphere, late one night in a dank Boston apartment, winter 2012. Finding an unusual musical chemistry in one another&dash;and an inexplicably fluid creative process&dash;Menashé and Kéren agreed that it was time to commit things to tape. A chance opportunity and invitation from producers Brian Wertheim & David Kitay lead the band to Southern California a week later, thus marking the return of Jungle Fires to her natural habitat and the beginning of a two-year labor of love recording their first record.
